Touching and naive representation of two brothers as pendants, in Sainte-Barbe type uniforms [see the blog Les Petites Mains for a history of school uniforms in France].

The general condition is good. The paintings have been relined. The frames are recent. Some cracks and injuries to the paint layer (see our close-up photos, without concession).
The set is original and very decorative.
